Chris' prayer: Jason Upton's "Gideon"

Help me boast in my condition
You’re the God and I’m the man
I love the wordplay here. Usually, when someone is boasting, they say, "I'm the man." But here Upton is using "I'm the man" with humility. "I'm (just) the man," he is saying.

Tonight I learned about humility in confession. It is something I need to work on in many areas of my life. My hope is that, staring with a clean slate and a weekend of spirituality will help me be better about being humble.
